Taste is tart and very sweet. Strong presence of red and green apples, with some sweet honey and light cinnamon notes. A bit of a bite from the sugar. Absolutely no presence of alcohol.

Fairly easy drinker, although it is a bit acidic and sticky when it goes down. I could easily down a four pack of one of these on a hot summer day. Would like to have seen more alcohol in this one. I think a little bite would've been a nice touch to the beer, although I could see it distracting from the masterfully captured apple flavors.

Overall, another homerun fruit beer by NG. Surprised to see it in 12 oz format.

Pour is a darker reddish copper, nice opacity. Nice fizzy head reminiscent of a sour or champagne, but not as noisy.

Very subtle Apple smell, definitely not over powering. More cooked apples than fresh. Getting some honey and caramel as well.

Taste is pretty impressive. Definitely getting apples in any form you can imagine. Apple pie, apple cobbler, fresh toast, slight cinnamon and brown sugar. Slight tartness in the back end with a burnt toast after taste.
